Comment:
WRD met with the Natural Resources Defense Council and received a presentation of their Low-Impact Development (LID) program. The LID program can provide increase capture and infiltration of stormwater. In the WRD service area in the Los Angeles Coastal groundwater basin, this can reduce the need to import water through the California State Water Project Aqueduct and the Colorado River Aqueduct watershed to replenish groundwater supplies. This increases local reliability of groundwater supplies. Reducing demand for water pumped through these aqueducts can also reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the use of those facilities. WRD believes that there is a significant potential benefit through the LID program that warrants further analysis by CARB.
